Digital literacy does not replace traditional forms of literacy. It builds upon the foundation of traditional forms of literacy.[1] Digital literacy is the marrying of the two terms digital and literacy; however, it is much more than a combination of the two terms. Digital information is a symbolic representation of data, and literacy refers to the ability to read for knowledge, write coherently, and think critically about the written word.
3. These changes,
among others, are ushering us
toward
a world
where knowledge, power, and
productive capability will be
more dispersed than at any time in
our history— a world
where value creation will be fast, fluid,
and
The Implication
5. A Fast Changing World…
……..changing so fast
That the replication of more of
the same knowledge and skills of the
other days will not suffice to address
the challenges of today, not to talk of
the future…
Imagine….
A generation ago, teachers could expect that what they
taught would last their students a
lifetime.
6. …WORLD OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Employers/Parents expect graduates to be:
• Creative and Job ready
• Ready to thrive in the Digital
Age
o Cope with the challenges of
the 21st century
o Think critically,
o Solve problems
7. Rapid
economic and social changes
demand of NITDA to prepare the
citizenry
for jobs that are yet to be created,
technologies that have not yet
been invented
and problems that we don't yet
know will arise.
Reality of Time
8. • Increasingly diverse customer base
• Increasing complexity of business
structures and organizations

Resultant Changes in Business Environment
9. The impact or response to these trends is
either
For the most part - "technology
focused"
Precipitated or facilitated by technology
or
Required of skills that are
predominantly and significantly
technology related.
Understanding the Trend…
10. Fluency
o Attained when an act is accomplished with no
noticeable cognitive or mental effort.
o Having a mastery of certain skills to the point of
not requiring conscious attention.
Digital fluency
o An evolving aptitude that empowers the individual
to
effectively and ethically interpret information,
discover meaning, design content, construct
knowledge,
and communicate ideas in a digitally connected
world.
